Yashu Gola6 hours agoWhy is Litecoin’s price down today?Litecoin’s price is down today in part due to its overbought conditions and the upcoming release of the Federal Reserve’s meeting minutes.2034 Total views2 Total sharesListen to article 0:00Altcoin WatchJoin us on social networksLitecoin"s price is down today, mirroring downside moves elsewhere in the crypto market.


On July 5, the Litecoin (LTC) price dropped over 3% to $100.50. On the same day, the crypto market’s overall capitalization fell 2%, suggesting traders have started securing profits at the local tops of multiple cryptocurrencies.LTC/USD daily price chart versus crypto market capitalization.

Litecoin rallied by more than 65% to reach a year-to-date high of $116 on July 2.


The gains appeared primarily due to euphoria around its halving in August and its listing on EDX Markets, a newly launched exchange backed by Wall Street giants like Citadel Securities, Fidelity Investments and Charles Schwab.


Since then, however, the LTC price has corrected by nearly 14%, including the 3% drop on July 5. One reason is its overbought relative strength index (RSI) on the daily chart, which typically prompts the price to drop or consolidate sideways. LTC/USD daily price chart.

In addition to crypto, Litecoin’s losses on July 5 mirrored similar downside moves in traditional markets. It happened as traders awaited minutes from the Federal Reserve’s June policy meeting to understand its position on interest rates. The minutes will be released on July 5 at 6:00 pm UTC.


The market believes Fed officials have discussed raising the benchmark rate two more times in 2023 despite not raising it in the last meeting. Higher interest rates have proven to be bearish for cryptocurrencies like Litecoin.Markets are hopeful that today"s release of the Fed minutes can provide clarity on a Federal Reserve that refrained from raising interest rates at the last meeting but intends to raise them two more times. @steveliesman joins with more: pic.twitter.com/hDfRgKTRcK— Squawk Box (@SquawkCNBC) July 5, 2023 Litecoin price 2023 outlook


Litecoin now holds above $100, a level that has turned from resistance to support. As shown in the weekly chart below, this level has also served as the upper trendline of LTC’s prevailing ascending triangle pattern.LTC/USD weekly price chart. Source: TradingView


As a result of its close above the descending triangle’s upper trendline, LTC has entered a technical breakout stage. As a rule, a descending triangle reversal breakout can see the price go as high as the pattern"s maximum height.

Thus, Litecoin’s descending triangle reversal breakout target comes to be around $240 in 2023, up 140% from current price levels.


On the other hand, Litecoin"s price will drop if its ascending channel pattern plays out instead in the bearish scenario. This will involve the LTC price testing the lower trendline at around $85 in the third quarter, down about 15% from current price levels.LTC/USD weekly price chart. Source: TradingView


Moreover, a breakdown of the bear flag can have the LTC price see even lower levels. In this case, LTC/USD risks dropping toward $40 in 2023, down 60% from current price levels, as shown below. LTC/USD weekly price chart. Source: TradingView
